London-based incense brand Cremate has teamed up with AFFIX on a “Loaded Dice” T-shirt in support of #BlackLivesMatter. Part of a “momentary shift of power.” The move gives Cremate – a black-owned business – “control of the message as a show of solidarity and support.”
Addressing systemic racism while raising money for U.K.-based organizations, the front of the T-shirt, a print reads “Life’s a game, and a lot of y’all tossin loaded dice.” While the rear is printed with an extensive definition of institutional racism which ends, “this is but a glimpse at the current system. The system is extremely flawed. It needs to be dismantled and rebuilt from the ground up.” 100 percent of the proceeds from the “Loaded Dice” T-shirt will be donated to the Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust and Black Lives Matter U.K.
